64. LEPTOMYRIISTA HIRUNDO.

 Handl. 1857, p. 35 (AmblypGdiah.}; Trimen, Rhop. Afr. Austr. ii. 

 p. 230, pi. 4. fig. 11 (1866).

This is the most southern example of L. hirundo that I have 

 heard of ; our two examples are both from Natal. 



65. VlRACHOLA L1YIA ? 



Lyccena lima, Klug, Symb. Phys. pi. 40. figs. 3-6 (1834).

The male is somewhat shattered, but differs remarkably from 

 Arabian examples, all the markings below being bright mahogany- 

 red with blackish margins and whitish borders ; the internal area 

 of primaries buff. 



66. VIRACHOLA LORISONA, var. 



Myrina lorisona, Hewitson, 111. Diurn. Lep. p. 37, pi. 16. 

 figs. 48, 49 (1863).

The single example obtained differs so much from Hewitson's 

 type in the pattern of the upper surface, that, if we had not 

 possessed an intermediate specimen from West Africa, I should 

 have concluded that this Eastern variety must be distinct : the 

 secondaries would be best described as bright orange tawny, the 

 base, abdominal border, and a submedian streak smoky greyish 

 brown ; the usual bright blue subcostal sexual spot ; outer border 

 narrowly dark brown, slightly widest at apex : the orange patch 

 on the primaries is also much larger than in typical V. lorisona. 

 This is the first example which I have seen from East Africa. 



67. VIRACHOLA DIOCLES. 



Deudorix diodes, Hewitson, 111. Diurn. Lep., Suppl. p. 12, pi. v. 

 figs. 55, 56 (1869).

A single pair of this rare species was obtained ; it is new to 

 the general Collection. The female above is smoky greyish-brown, 

 the primaries with a diffused ashy patch between the cell and the 

 submedian vein ; the secondaries with a similar patch on the 

 median and lower radial interspaces ; the anal lobe is externally 

 golden orange, the usual internal black spot being sprinkled with 

 silvery blue scales : otherwise, excepting in its rounder wings, 

 it much resembles females of V. livia. 



68. VIRACHOLA DARIAYES. 



Deudorix dariaves, Hewitson, Ent. Month. Mag. xiii. p. 205 

 (1877). 



S , Mgana, 23rd July, 1896. 

 Also new to the general Collection.
